PHILADELPHIA, Dec. 28 /PRNewswire/ -- The 27,000-square-foot,
three-story "Philadelphia Ronald McDonald House at Front and Erie" will
officially open its doors on Monday, January 7, 2008 - providing families
whose children are receiving medical treatment at area hospitals with
lodging, comfort and support. To commemorate the grand opening, the House
will host an inaugural house-lighting ceremony on Thursday, January 3 at
6:00 p.m. Families, friends and supporters will be in attendance.

"The expansion of the Philadelphia Ronald McDonald House to the campus
of St. Christopher's Hospital allows us to continue our mission of
providing a 'home away from home' for families traveling to Philadelphia
for their children's health care," said Philadelphia Ronald McDonald House
Executive Director Susan Campbell.

"When a child is sick it puts a tremendous stress on the entire family.
Helping them eliminate one part of that stress in knowing that they have a
place to stay near their child, is immeasurable," said John Durante,
McDonald's(R) owner/operator and president of Ronald McDonald House
Charities(R) of the Philadelphia Region, Inc. "With this current expansion,
we can continue our mission of providing a haven for families in their time
of need."

The House includes 15 guest rooms, two living rooms, a fitness area,
laundry facilities, and a family-style kitchen and dining area. It will
provide a home for families of children being treated at area hospitals
including St. Christopher's Hospital for Children, Temple University
Children's Medical Center and Shriners Hospital.

The Philadelphia Ronald McDonald House, located on Chestnut Street, was
the first Ronald McDonald House in the world. There are now 273 Houses in
30 countries.

More than 200 monetary and in-kind donors have made the completion of
the "Philadelphia Ronald McDonald House at Front and Erie" possible.
